There is no doubt anger is a very strong emotion and it’s frequently portrayed as a negative response. But anger can be useful it gives us energy to confront a threat and it helps us to set and maintain personal boundaries. So what’s the problem?

There are times when this strong emotion takes over and we lose control, when this happens we can cause harm to ourselves and those around us. At times like this anger can be frightening and we are in danger of losing more than just our temper.
